IPVideo Corp Mobile Sentry Emergency Response System Examined
Shootings are increasing interest in conventional "blue light" emergency response systems but they are costly and fixed. IP Video Corp hopes to solve this with its mobile phone-based ERS but how does this match up with conventional systems and what drawbacks might this have?
Inside the report, we examine Sentry ERS based on an interview with CTO Jack Plunkett and Vice President of Operations & Product Development Frank Jacovino, including:
- IPVideo Corp Background
- Pricing and Limitations Analyzed
- SentryERS Technical Overview
- Events Overview
- IPVideo Corps. Sentry ERS Demo
- How does Sentry ERS compare to app-based emergency response systems such as Rave and Punchalert?
- How does Sentry ERS compare to conventional/fixed emergency response systems such as CodeBlue and Knightscope?
- How does Sentry ERS integrate with HALO/HALO Cloud?
- What is the claimed gunshot detection accuracy?
- What are the potential risks of false alerts and vandalism?
